How can I look up a DNS MX record for a given server in Java?

Question

Anybody knows how to get MX address (from for example gmail.com) in java using standard libraries? Or do I need to download external one?

I\'m using netbeans if it

Answer 1

I was also searching for standart lib for this in java. Unsuccessful.

Then I have used dnsjava.

private Record[] lookupMxRecords(final String domainPart) throw TextParseException
{
    final Lookup dnsLookup = new Lookup(domainPart, Type.MX);
    return dnsLookup.run();
}
